Artificial intelligence is making strides in integrating seamlessly across various platforms, and the latest development involves Gemini's summarization capabilities. Currently, this feature works effectively within Google Chrome and applications leveraging Chrome Custom Tabs. However, users of other browsers, such as Samsung Internet, have experienced limitations where only on-screen content could be summarized via screenshots. Excitingly, recent tests indicate that the Samsung Internet browser may soon support URL-based summarization through Gemini, offering a more comprehensive summary experience for Galaxy device users.
Google and Samsung’s collaborative efforts are increasingly evident in their shared advancements in artificial intelligence. One notable example includes the integration of Gemini-powered features into the Galaxy S25 series. Now, it seems that these developments extend further, potentially enhancing Samsung Internet's functionality. Presently, when using Google Chrome or apps reliant on Chrome Custom Tabs, users can trigger Gemini summaries by selecting "Ask about this screen" and typing or speaking the command "Summarize." This process enables Gemini to access the full URL of a webpage, allowing it to analyze and understand the entire content rather than just what's visible.
In contrast, other browsers like Samsung Internet previously lacked this capability. Instead of attaching URLs, they could only capture static screenshots, which limited the scope of summaries to what was displayed on-screen at the time. Fortunately, progress has been made in overcoming this limitation. During testing with the Google app version 16.10.40.sa.arm64, the URL attachment feature successfully functioned within Samsung Internet. As demonstrated in accompanying visuals, Gemini managed to detect and attach the complete webpage URL directly from Samsung's browser.
This advancement signifies a significant improvement for Android users who prefer Samsung Internet over Google Chrome. With access to the full URL, Gemini can generate richer and more accurate summaries by analyzing the entire article rather than just the portion currently visible. Such enhancements promise to make daily browsing experiences more efficient and informative for Galaxy users.
Although the feature hasn't officially launched yet, its successful testing indicates that foundational work is already in place for broader implementation. Users eagerly await its public release, hopeful that this collaboration between Google and Samsung continues to yield beneficial results, further strengthening their partnership and providing practical solutions for tech enthusiasts worldwide.
